Hotels near Dean Castle Country Park, Kilmarnock

I met by robbie on arrivel, he showed me around and the dos an donts, never seen him again. I then met fred, an absolout gentleman, ive stayed at some great B+Bs but never been looked after like this place. I was out early each day for work, so didnt have breakfast, but Fred always left little extras in the fridge which was a realy nice touch. he even done my washing before i left. I stayed in room 5 it was very warm and clean, nice comfy bed microwave and fridge in the room and a wall mounted tv. I had a private shower room, which was brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, and would recomend it to anyone wanting to stay in Kilmarnock, and if i come back ill be knocking on this door. I stayed over the Open Golf Championship, and exspected the prices to rise, but generally the rate are great. Thanks very much Fred and all the best for the future.

Arrived here on a Wednesday night with no football on at the stadium next door. Large car park adjacent to hotel with a friendly welcome which was well received after a drive up from Nottingham. Modern, spacious and airy hotel which is a nice contrast to the well known chains. Room was great - bed especially comfortable - and good WiFi throughout. All the staff were friendly with prompt service. Good food in the restaurant throughout and always nice to see Carling available when north of the border. For those that drive a lot with early starts the next day, a ‘weak’ lager is my go to.

Spent a night here with my partner, for dinner bed and breakfast. Hotel looks lovely, and the open reception bar restaurant are great and airy, with a nice atmosphere. Meals were good, but the portions at dinner could have been bigger. Service at dinner was a little slow. Breakfast was fine. Great selection and food was delicious. Reception staff pleasant through check in and check out. Hotel did have some minor points. When we checked in at 3pm on the Sunday, a housekeeping trolley was in the corridor, with empty glasses and bottles. It was still there when we checked out the next day at 10am. The corridors to the bedrooms needed a good hoover and clean, not a nice impression. In the restaurant, beside the till there was a plastic glass holder tray proper up, and underneath it was some rubbish and general dirt and dust. Clearly it had not been swept in a considerable length of time. The room was comfortable and clean, but definitely a bit dated. The bathroom tiles could have done with regrouting and the fixtures in there were dated. Toilet handle had chips around it, and lots of thick silicon seallant everywhere. In the bedroom, there was only one bedside table and no plugs beside the bed for charging phones. It was almost as if it was a twin room, made into a double given the position of the headboard and furniture. I know these are niggles, and we did enjoy our night, but if these were addressed, it would have improved the experience.

Nice room comfy bed good value for money nice toom

The hotel environment is very good, is a very large hotel, not far from the sea. There is a large golf course next to the hotel. The daily breakfast is a la carte, which is rich and overall, very satisfied! The disadvantage is that there are no slippers and the bed is relatively small
